http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/252/30002807.gif A night with two of my favorite bands together for one night only. Fri 21 Aug – Watch Me Set My Strange Sun You Bloody Choir at The Fly By Night Club was the venue for the Perth or should I say Freo show of the last Augie March tour for a very long, long time. This is because band members want to do other things, whatever that means? But just the another day Paul Kelly announced a Perth show at Kings Park this summer with guess who supporting? Augie March also with Clare Bowditch playing too which sound great to me. Maybe it's a one off show because Paul Kelly asked, how would you say "No" to him. This gig was around this time last month but I was looking at my journal and saw it's not there so something must have happened when I went to post it. It will hopeful go up today but I better double check these from now on.

British music found its voice. And its clothes and drugs, too.By Andrew Loog Oldham.

The problem with British pop in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s was that it was not American. It got by on phoney accents, phoney attitudes and bland Formica ideals. Singers were like cattle, to be signed, trained, slaved, featured and dismissed as salaried vocal refrain. Then the earth started to move. John, Paul, George and Pete were in Hamburg; so was Ringo, drummin’ up a storm. Mick and Keith met and glued over 12-inch import vinyl on the platform of Dartford station. Brian Jones left Cheltenham for London and the blues – his mission to spread his seed and lose his soul. Eric Clapton saw God before he became it when he first heard Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.Giorgio Gomelsky and Long John Baldry created a web of gigs and togetherness for those who had discovered these blues. Pete Townshend heard Link Wray and decided life would be a rumble of words and vision. …

You can ride the blues highway all week long, but the regular Saturday stop is a little dive with a small stage, a friendly barkeep and sawdust on the dance floor. You know that when the houselights go down, the temperature comes up and the opening chords fill the air, you’re in for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard. That little dive is The Roadhouse. Johnny Copeland, Buckwheat Zydeco with Sonny Landreth, Roman Carter, Roxanne Potvin, Mavis Staples crowd the little bandstand in this edition to bring you the 138th Roadhouse Podcast.
